So, McDonald’s announced it is bowing to consumer pressure to make their Happy Meals healthier. They’re going to halve the number of fries and include apple slices in every HM. Ho hum, you say, why are you posting this?

Because of THIS (from the NYTimes):

“Today’s Happy Meal with chicken nuggets has 520 calo­ries and 26 grams of fat, and the reconstituted version, with 1 per­cent milk, will total 410 calories and 19 grams of fat, according to the company.”

Holy crap! Even the reconstituted version has a lot of calories and fat. That’s a heavy meal!
